1971 March 711

The front wing of the March 711 was nicknamed the ‘tea-tray’ but it looked more a place for the team to iron their team wear. This surfboard design was more suited to the water than the race track, preferably underwater so no one has to see it ever again.

2008 Honda RA108

There’s been plenty of stunning liveries in Formula One; the earth car wasn’t one of them. The car itself was far from a looker too and to add insult to injury it was also pretty damn rubbish, scoring just four points finishes all year.

In 1976 the Ligier team turned up with a car that seemed to be carrying some holiday weight from the winter break. If 'Le Smurf's' air intake was any taller, it’d have trouble getting through the Monaco tunnel.
